Beyoncé earned her first album of the year award at this year's Grammys for her acclaimed eighth studio album, "Cowboy Carter."

Country singer Chris Stapleton filed an official objection after Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter" won the 2025 Grammy award for best country album. In February 2025, a rumor spread online that country artist Chris Stapleton had filed an "official objection" after the 2025 Grammy award for best country album went to Beyoncé's "Cowboy Carter."

By now, everybody knows just how shockedBeyoncé was when when she won the Grammy Award for Best Country Album — there’s even a meme about it! But the pop superstar wasn’t the only one who was surprised.

Correcting what was widely seen as an historic wrong, Beyoncé won best album at the 67th Grammy Awards in Los Angeles. The star was recognised for her eighth album, Cowboy Carter, which celebrates and contextualises the black roots of country music. She had previously been passed over for the ceremony's main prize on four separate occasions.

Beyoncé, who led all artists with 11 nominations, won the Grammy for album of the year. Kendrick Lamar won record and song of the year, and Chappell Roan won best new artist.

Beyoncé, the most-awarded and most-nominated artist in Grammy history, won the Grammy Award for her landmark country album "COWBOY CARTER." "I just feel very full and very honored. It's been many, many years," the singer said in her acceptance speech. "I hope we just keep pushing forward, opening doors."

"It’s been so many times where I thought that would happen, and it didn’t,” Tina Knowles recalled in a chat with Jennifer Hudson this week.
